Generally Available: Azure Virtual Network default limits increased for NSGs and route tables
· 2 min read
Microsoft has raised the default Azure Virtual Network limits for both Network Security Groups (NSGs) and route tables. This is now generally available, so you get the new limits without opening a support request.
For teams running large hub-and-spoke estates, or anyone segmenting traffic with lots of explicit routes and rules, this removes a common scaling pain. You can keep cleaner designs with fewer workarounds.
The new defaults are 2,000 rules per NSG, up to 6,000 addresses or ports in an NSG rule, 1,000 routes per route table, and 600 route tables per subscription by default.
